I sent mine back to Amazon yesterday. Didnt even open it. Too many mixed to bad reviews. Maybe will get it later when it gets closer to $100.
it should be < $100 if they want to even complete w/ new apple tv and roku pricing.
Yes, I agree. I have two rokus and love em.
I can't believe there are people that would want to go through the effort to stream MTV.
#3 what Roku models did you get? Trying to decide between the XD and the XD|S.
Just bite the bullet and build a small HTTV. Then you're not locked into whatever software is on your Boxee, Roku or WD box.
Does Roku play your own movies from a NAS or network drive?
#5 I have an HD-XR and and XDS. The XDS has the usb port but I dont use it. Get the XR. The XDS is twice as much and had a few more buttons on the remote and does 1080p but most if not all the web content is at the most 720p. I havent figured a way to stream from my WHS Nas yet. THat is really the only thing this thing is missing. I run Playon on an HTPC so that takes care of that piece. Gives me the free Hulu also...
Thanks #8. Greatly appreciated. Have a good weekend!
I agree with #6. Just build that HTPC and you will be happy. You can do anything you want with it because it is a computer. Rip DVDs, play Blu-Ray movies, stream off the internet, watch HDTV over the air for free....etc. the only pain is dealing with a CRAPPY operating system. I wish there were an apple computer that worked better as an HTPC with a dual TV tuner!
with roku you have to pay extra to stream content from your computer you pay for online server
Agree #10. I built an HTPC for all of the reasons that you pointed out and tried both versions of Windows (XP MC) and 7 and they both were less than optimum OSs for HTPC. That is why I was thinking of trying something different that does not rely on a Windows OS to run. We need someone to come up with a good open source OS for HTPCs.
Is XBMC Live good as HTPC OS?
